Chaos on Tap: A Xanax, Wine & Diaper Extravaganza

Buckle up (or maybe just grab a glass of wine) because this week’s episode of Jerkin’ Around takes off with a hilarious deep dive into flight anxiety, family chaos, and the absolute comedy of real life. Tisha and Crystal are back with their signature blend of humor and heart, proving once again that life’s messiest moments make for the best stories.

The episode kicks off with Tisha’s unfiltered take on her lifelong fear of flying—because nothing says "calm traveler" like a mini panic attack at 30,000 feet. From overthinking every bump of turbulence to discovering the strange comfort of a pre-flight cocktail (or three), Tisha’s journey is equal parts relatable and ridiculous. Crystal, of course, chimes in with her own twist, bringing up safe words—not just for the bedroom, but for life’s everyday disasters. Let’s just say that passwords like “Tisha22” will never feel the same again.

Somehow, this wild ride takes a detour into the world of elderberry remedies—because, naturally, flight anxiety pairs perfectly with homemade cold cures and unsolicited wellness advice. Tisha and Crystal swap their best (and worst) attempts at staying healthy, proving that laughter really is the best medicine, even if elderberry syrup is a close second.

But the real gem of this episode? Tisha’s legendary story is about surviving a chaotic flight with nothing but a diaper and sheer determination. Yes, you read that right—a diaper. It’s the kind of story you have to hear to believe, blending cringe, comedy, and a surprising dose of resilience. It’s the perfect reminder that life’s most uncomfortable moments often make for the best punchlines.

Between all the laughs, the duo also gets real about family life. From letting their kids pick vacation spots to embracing the beautifully imperfect chaos of family trips, they remind us that memories aren’t made in picture-perfect moments—they’re built in the hilarious, unpredictable, “what even is happening right now?” experiences we’ll talk about for years.

By the end, Tisha and Crystal serve up their usual mix of real talk and comic relief, reminding listeners that vulnerability is a superpower, laughter is therapy, and embracing the mess is the ultimate life hack. So whether you’re battling flight fears, parenting pandemonium, or just trying to keep it all together, this episode is proof that you’re not alone—and you might as well laugh your way through it.

Tune in and join the ride, because around here? The messier, the better. ✈️🤣
